Ryan Pyle is an author, adventurer, ambassador, lecturer, award-winning photographer, television presenter, and filmmaker. Ryan and his crew traveled to Mongolia in June 2019 to film documentaries for the Discovery Channel. The goal was to reach 4, 356 meters above sea level on Mongolia’s highest peak, Khuiten Peak in Western Mongolia, which he achieved with our team.
He was born and raised in Canada, and after completing his undergraduate education, he fulfilled a longstanding ambition by traveling to China on exploratory missions. Later, he relocated to China permanently and began contributing to the New York Times on a regular basis. Ryan was named one of the top 30 emerging photographers in the world by PDN Magazine in 2009. Ryan began working full-time in television and documentary film production in 2010, and has since produced and presented several significant multi-episode television series for major broadcasters in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Asia, China, and continental Europe.
Since then, he’s been travelling into the unknown, shooting stunning photographs, interacting with people, and scaling the world’s tallest peaks.
Because of his dedication and hard work, world residents are able to appreciate and appreciate our beautiful planet.

Canadian long-distance runner

RRaymond Zahab is a public speaker and long-distance runner from Canada. He has participated in long-distance running expeditions in a variety of nations, including the South Pole, Siberia, Chile’s Atacama Desert, Mongolia’s Gobi Desert, and others. He and two runners crossed the Sahara together. Matt Damon narrates and produces “Running the Sahara,” a documentary film directed by Oscar winner James Moll that follows three guys as they run across the Sahara desert in 111 days and over 7,000 kilometers of difficult terrain. Ray is also the founder of Impossible2Possible, an organization that uses adventure learning and excursions to inspire and educate youngsters. 

Ray Zahab ran 2,000 kilometers across the Gobi desert in 35 days in the summer of 2013. On average, I run 70 kilometers every day. He was accompanied by a film crew and photographer who not only documented the expedition but also created a film that shared stories about Mongolian people and culture. We were in charge of the arrangements for his Mongolian excursion, as Ray completed his run. We are incredibly proud to have been a part of this mission.

Guinness Book of Records award for travelling the longest distance in a kite powered buggy

The 61-YEAR-OLD adventurer set a world record in 2004 when he kite-crossed one of the world’s harshest regions. Brian Cunningham, a visiting professor at Manchester University and a native of Heaton in Bolton, has undertaken the first kite-powered crossing of Mongolia’s Gobi Desert.

In September 2004, the kite-powered journey across Mongolia’s Gobi Desert covered 1,000 kilometers (600 miles).

Two Irish explorers, Jamie Young and Brian Cunningham, planned an excursion across Antarctica using ski-buggies propelled by kites in 2002. In ten days, they planned to sail 600 miles across the continent. Their specially-designed buggies were supposed to be carried by kites blowing in the wind, reaching speeds of up to 65 miles per hour. They had to abandon their attempt to set a new record because the wind was not strong enough.

Sarah McNair-Landry, 18, became the youngest person to ski to the South Pole

Sarah McNair-Landry became the youngest person to ski to the South Pole during an unsupported expedition with her elder brother, Eric, in 2004-2005. She was 18 years old at the time. 

The Nunavut-born siblings haven’t stopped shattering records since then on their numerous adventures. Sarah made history by becoming the youngest person to reach both poles when she dogsled to the North Pole in 2006. 

In 2011, the two kite-skied 3,300 kilometers through the Northwest Passage, following the route taken by Roald Amundsen in 1903-1906; Eric set the world record for the longest distance kite-skied in 24 hours during this journey. They’ve also kite-skied across Greenland’s ice cap, dogsled across Ellesmere Island, and driven three-wheeled kite-buggies across Mongolia’s Gobi Desert.

2009 Pittarak, Gobi expedition. The Pittarak team (Eric McNair-Landry, Sarah McNair-Landry, and Curtis Jones) flew to Mongolia with the intention of kite buggying across the Gobi desert. The team began their journey in the desert at the base of the Altai Mountains. On the buggies, they transported their water and food. The team made the crossing after 35 days of kiting (and hauling when there was no wind).
